I wonder how Iraq is going to respond to this? It seems like they've been pretty friendly with Iran lately, but now Iran is lobbing missiles at their country. For that matter, the U.S. lobbed missiles at their country too the other day. I can't imagine they're happy about two major powers lobbing missiles at each other in their territory, but I don't know what they can do to get them to stop in the short term. (Kicking them all out may be the long-term solution.)
Things are about to get real.<p>If launched from Iranian territory there is a pretty clear case for the US to go to war.<p>I know the “WW3” meme is popular right now but Iran is only a regional power and would likely lose a conventional war quickly against the US (matter of days or weeks).
I've seen estimates on the amount of US soldiers dead ranging from 0 to 180 while this article doesn't mention any deaths. It's crazy how large of a fluctuation there is, it's so hard to know what news sources are valid.
